I see what you mean by power creep, but you also have think about it this way. If they just stop adding better items, than what's the point of doing new bosses or pvm content? If they can't make stronger weapons (or gear in general), why am I or anyone else going to do that content? It will quickly become dead. Are we just going to stick with Armadyl being the BIS gear for range forever? When do we move forward? Tired of hearing this power creep garbage. Items aren't supposed to be the best in slot forever. Power creep has been happening since the dawn of this game and pretty much every game. People need incentive to do new content. If the new content (talking about PVM, but also applies to skilling) does not provide a real incentive to do it, than no one will do it. I'd support the idea of gradual power creeps vs large power creeps. Example: Instead of just creating tier 90 weapons, maybe create something that requires level 86 to use and the stats only being slightly better. Though that's my two cents. I don't think we should be stuck in the past, where Armadyl and Bandos gear will be Best in slot for the next 10 years.. literally insane.

These updates look exciting but as a 1 def pure with plenty of pvm achievements and 2k total this is very disheartening. Before the "you chose to limit yourself" comments. Yes! I did I have a much more challenging time pvming and doing those things on a limited account, so do plenty of others whether it's a pure,zerk,med whatever why completely exclude us from this over a simple defence requirment. I have thousands of kc spread across many bosses and this is something that would apeal to me and a lot of us pvpers who feel like jagex is out of touch with us. I mean how many of us are sitting with a useless Vls in the bank right now as just one example. Come on Jagex Please make this where pures can participate its like playing the game on hard mode but they turn achievements off??!?!? if irons want an instanced wilderness jamflex will probably give it to them...

The task system and increased drop rate rewards(scrolls/ecu keys) and reduced kill count all seem like they belong in the leagues that are going on now and that people are hyped about at the moment. It seems like the timing for this "diary" is totally league based.
While they all sound like fun tasks to complete, the proposed rewards will have to big of an impact on the main game. All these tasks sound like they more belong in a combat based League, and nothing really contributes to the story mode of the game. I suggest this task system should be used in another league where the game impact willl only be 2 months instead of messing up the whole main game.
With the Godwars instance, you could add a similar portal to the Bandos room maybe a bit cheaper and similar to Corporeal Beast, I have never seen chrashing or lack of empty worlds be a problem at the other 3 bosses.

I was intrigued when I saw this update pop up through Instagram, but when I actually read the dev blog about it, I was really not in to the combat achievement.

Usually in combat you can be rewarded for things such as nice armour, pets, high KC number, but an achievement log I would prefer for everything in game together, sort of like WoW.

This system feels like a massive thing for a player. Sure there's a lot of content in it, but really is it any different than doing this in game already anyway. Woox has completed many different achievements of his own which has made it feel more authentic. I feel like this will just make it another task to do like many things already in game and present it as more of a task reward system. Clan Defy -

easy and med tiers should be done without 60+ combats and ds1
also no need for more offhands..

edit: or even better if none of those achievement tiers had any level or quest requiments.
I know alot of 1def pures and obbymaulers who love pvm content so it would be nice if any account type could be doing these combat achievements.

What are you talking about dude? They do listen to the playerbase and atleast 70% needs to vote yes for it. You're straight up negativity, im sorry for you cause it's probally because you ain't happy with your life.

For all the other negative people around here, remember this:
Positive Engergy Activates Constant Elevation!

Stop being negative, it's good to give feedback, but just don't bitch about stuff like a little kid.

I really love these kinds of new things btw, been playing since 2002 and i think these are great additions to the game for new and old players!
